Chapter 177 Missing Persons (Filling in the previous article)

"Master, do you think our father will cause us big trouble if he finds out?"

In a slightly desolate small courtyard on the edge of Lihu Town, Jiang was leaning on a pile of mud and looking worriedly at Mei Dahu, who was repairing the roof.

"You said that dead girl Xiaolian has arrived or not, and you didn't ask anyone to give us a message. You said she won't forget about us just because she got married, right?"

"Shut up."

Mei Dahu had a headache listening to Jiang's dense words.

"If you are really afraid of being discovered, just keep your mouth shut. You can go buy two portions of roast chicken later. Later we will go to the village to see our parents and bring some portions to the old couple, and we will pick up An An on the way."

The parents Mei Dahu mentioned here refer to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After the family division, Mei Dahu sent Mei An directly to Yinshui Village, where he studied for enlightenment on weekdays, and rested at his father-in-law's and mother-in-law's house after school. He would only bring her back when his husband was on holiday.

As soon as she heard that she was going to pick up her son, Mrs. Jiang immediately became happy, wiped it on her apron and said, "I'll go right away!"

Seeing Jiang walking away, Mei Dahu breathed a sigh of relief.

The good mood I had was ruined by this bitchy bitch of my own.

When the son-in-law moved out, he said that the family could live in the house in Jinbai County. He was almost ready to agree, but luckily he was reminded by his mother-in-law.

She first asked him to walk around the county town and experience the life of ordinary people in the county town.

He didn't experience anything that day. He just learned that even water in this county had to be paid for. Mei Dahu gave up the idea of ​​living in the county.

Although he has some carpentry skills, it cannot support his expenses in the county.

Secondly, his mother-in-law also asked, what should he say if his son-in-law moved away and the former students came to him? Or what should he explain if Mei Yang came to see him?

With Mei Yang's level, if he wanted to study later and knew about his relationship with his son-in-law, would his parents make trouble with him and ask him to find his son-in-law to open the back door for Mei Yang to study next to him?

Things happen again and again, and Mei Yang takes the lead. What will happen to Mei An's studies in a few years?

After asking a few questions, Mei Dahu completely rejected his son-in-law's proposal.

The other party conveniently disposed of the house in Jinbai County and gave all the money from the sale to himself.

The other party also wrote a letter of introduction, and after Mei An finished studying at Meng Xue, the Meng Meng teacher before he was admitted to the Tongsheng School also looked for a good candidate for him.

In a few years, if Mei An is really talented and passes the Tongsheng exam, she can study with his son-in-law.

Although Mei Dahu didn't quite understand this arrangement, he told his mother-in-law about it. Mrs. Yu was very happy and said that this was considered intentional.

I want him to maintain the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law more in the future, and never make a big deal out of him. Over time, the benefits will flow slowly, so don't ask for too much at the beginning and wear away the "favor of saving your son."

Mei Dahu thought about what his mother-in-law said, and then thought about his parents.

After so long, he has seen through it all.

His mother is really partial to Mei Yang. Even if she feels sorry for Mei An, she still has to stand aside compared to Mei Yang.

As for his father, he didn't seem to be partial to anyone, and would sometimes talk to him in private about what he had and what he didn't.

But in fact, his father only likes himself more.

He didn't like anyone in that family.

Mei Dahu sighed as he thought about it, and slowly came down from the roof. When he turned around, he saw his own mother standing at the door of his house.

"Mom? Why are you here!?"

Mei Dahu was shocked.

"Big tiger!"

When Mrs. Zhang came up, she threw herself into Mei Dahu's arms and burst into tears, shouting, "Your father is missing! He's been missing for several days!"

"What, my dad? Why is my dad missing?"

At this time, Mei Dahu was also startled, and he quickly helped Mrs. Zhang up and asked her carefully.

"How come you disappeared without a trace?"

"Didn't someone come back to the village to spread the news a few days ago? He said that your brother was admitted as a scholar."

"Ah? The fourth child passed the exam? A few days ago?"

Mei Dahu has been busy repairing the dilapidated house he bought in the past few days. The land in the village has been rented to others, and he has not returned to the village. He has no idea that Mei Yang has become a scholar.

"It's been more than half a month."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, Mei Dahu's eyes changed when he looked at Mrs. Zhang.

You haven't told him this kind of thing for more than half a month?

Worried that he will regret going back to find them?

"Then what?"

"Then the person who reported the news to your brother told your father that your brother will go to the county in ten days to thank you for his kindness, and ask your father to go too, and they will be together then."

As soon as he heard the thank you sir, a flash of discomfort and confusion flashed across Mei Dahu's face.

He remembered that his son-in-law seemed to be ready to leave at that time, right?

He was also in the county at that time!

Will his father see this?

Mei Dahu panicked for no reason, and then he heard his mother crying: "But your father never came back after he left! Even your brother is nowhere to be seen! What do you think is going on?!"

***

"Well, anyway, the two elders of the Mei family were said to have very bad expressions when they heard it. The old lady Zhang let out a 'Gah' sound and almost fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes!"

Meiberry also didn't expect that shopkeeper Ma would talk about this matter vividly, and her rich facial expressions were far different from her cold-faced lady appearance!

But when she saw her mother laughing so hard, she didn't feel anything at all. Mei Bei could probably imagine what her mother would be like when she came to see Shopkeeper Ma on her own.

Sure enough, there are definitely similarities between these two people when they play together.

Just with the excitement in her face when talking about gossip, Mei Berry felt like she had seen Aunt Wang when she was young.

"By the way, how do you want to vent your anger later?"

As Otosan spoke, he looked at Mayberry and the others with a bit of casual curiosity.

"Why are you so angry?"

Mayberry was stunned.

"Um... didn't you girl say last time that your family suffered a lot because you were not a biological child at Lao Mei's house? Now, you just lost your temper like this? Is it because of the kindness of upbringing?

"

Just from the information she investigated, Yisan couldn't even imagine what life the Mayberry family had been living.

When I think that their family has reached this point, it is really the blessing of the old master’s spirit in heaven, right?

After going around and around, no one expected that the person her master had been looking for for so long was right under her nose.

If he hadn't suddenly discovered that Mei Yang was wearing the jade pendant on the way, how could he have discovered that Mei Youqian was the child of his old master.

"Although there is kindness in nurturing her, it is an indisputable fact that they have over-exploited her. The kindness has long been worn away."

Mayberry knew this very well, and she even felt angry.

Without the help of their whole family, they did not know their own life experience, suffered all kinds of unfairness, were deeply oppressed due to their filial piety, and finally died in isolation and helplessness.

A family of three died in different places...

"When we were in Jinshui Village, our family taught them many lessons. But sometimes the saying 'A country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change' is true.

They are the maggots in the gutter, doing disgusting things.

But they are happy to be maggots in the gutter, but we are not willing.

We want to live a good life!

If all our energy falls on them, do we still have to live well by ourselves?

There is no need to keep entangled with people like them, our better and better life is the best retribution for them!"

Mei Bei said she was open-minded, but she was clear-minded in her heart!

When the flood comes, will Lao Mei's family still need them to take action?

Think about it, just because you have to keep targeting Lao Mei's family and delaying your escape is not worth the gain!

If the plot is really screwed up and the people of Lao Mei's family can escape death later, Mei Berry will believe that God has the virtue of good life.

If they survived and still had the energy to run in front of her and continue dancing, she would be a ghost if she didn't get killed by them.

Although Meiberry thought so in her heart, she still said some decent words on her face.

So these words reached Wang Beigu's ears, and since he didn't know Mei Bian's true thoughts, he admired Mei Bian a little more.

"I thought that although she was smart, she was too harsh and vindictive, but she turned out to be a person with an open-minded nature. She probably followed her parents."

Wang Beigu looked at the letter in his hand, which clearly stated the attitude of Mei Berry and his family towards Old Man Mei.
